You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

I can see how those two scenes are fairly similar in their feel, yes. Slowly opening the box and the looks on their faces... Two completely different contexts, of course, but I still see it.
Gorrammit, now I'm gonna hear the line "There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. T'would be a pity to damage yours." every time Inara opens her little box!

Get the DVD, watch it with the commentary on, listen to what the guy says about how and why it did badly in theaters, and then report back to me.

It had the same problems as Firefly and Serenity, you just can't advertise a genre crossing thing.

Same here. Though I think I was either 1 or 2 at the time. Course, once it came out on video, I watched it non-stop, along with Labyrinth and Legend. I really do have to get around to picking up on DVD.

No film with Stephen Fry, Walter Matthau and Tim Robbins can be all bad.

And there are some movies that will live on for decades. Who cares about, say, The Core or Big Momma's House 2, to name a couple that outgrossed Serenity and The Princess Bride.

The sooner the market is orientated towards films you want to own on disc forever, rather than movies you don't mind watching in a theatre full of rowdy teens, the better.

What it says in the commentary is more or less that any movie that crosses genres, as both it and Serenity did, is doomed to do badly in theaters because they don't know how to advertise it and when the guy was talking about that I felt like he was describing the problems Serenity and Firefly had wrt advertising perfectly.

The two movies are more alike than one would think.

My mother's favorite line is, I think, "Why don't you give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice on it." I don't really have a favorite line, I love the whole movie. And, for the record, I didn't see it in theaters either, I was two at the time.

It was when Illyria was talking to Wes, I forget which ep. But it's when Illyria is starting to have 'feelings' for Wes, yet he's still repulsed at seeing her in Fred's body.

LMAO.

Now I've got this in my brain:

MM: There's a big difference between mostly dead and all the way dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. All dead....well with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.
Zoe: What's that?
MM: Go through his clothes and look for loose change.

(Jayne perks up)

Zoe (to Jayne): Try it and I'll break every bone in your body.

Huh. From the looks of things in the other posts, we could re-write the Princess Bride entirely using our BDH's.

It's been a LONG time since I read the book but, in the book, I seem to recall this line being dead serious and absolutely bone-chilling and relentless. Whereas in the movie it comes across as comic after a while.

The book as I recall played the fantasy story pretty much straight and the humor and the wit was in the frame story about the excised boring parts of the S. Morgenstern "complete" story. But a frame story would have been impossible to film and the humor and wit migrated into the movie and made it much more comic and light-hearted than the book. That said, I do like the movie for itself and it is a tribute to William Goldman as a screenwriter and writer that they were able to make the movie at all.

Just once in a movie when the person says, "Hand me your gun ... No! Left hand," I just want the person to whip out the gun and shoot the bastard (be it a male or female bastard.)

In all of the times that people have been forced to give up their guns with their left hand at least one of them must be left handed.

Well lets look at the pairings

Mal/Wesley
Inara/Buttercup
Atherton/Humperdink
Badger/Vizzini
Niska/Count Tyrone Rugen
Crow/The Albino
Jayne/Fezzik

All look solid but I'm having trouble with the rest of the crew.

Simon and Kaylee I guess could come in as Miracle Max and his wife. And Book perhaps as the Grandfather (I know - he never married - but still) with River as The Grandson. That leaves Zoe and Wash to vie for Inigo and I don't see either of them fitting the bill right. Maybe if they both act the part doing the same motions and speaking the lines alternating one word at a time we could gain in surealism what we lose in thematic convergence.

Actually it was Niska's henchman who brought Malcolm back to life in War Stories. Simon did the next best thing in Out Of Gas however and we can't have Niska as a good guy and there really isn't anybody else who fits the bill for Rugen so I stand by my casting decision.

I would love to hear Nathan do the "To the pain" scene!

No. (a little pause) To the pain.
I'll explain. And I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you wart-hog-faced buffoon.
It won't be the last. To the pain means the first thing you lose will be your feet, below the ankles, then your hands at the wrists, next your nose.
I wasn't finished -- the next thing you lose will be your left eye, followed by your right
Wrong! Your ears you keep, and I'll tell you why ---- so that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish -- every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear God, what is that thing?" will echo in your perfect ears. That is what "to the pain" means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

True, and that scene would actually go great with The Princess Bride:

Kid: Wait! What does the henchman mean he's dead? He didn't mean dead. Mal's only faking right?
Grandfather: You wanna watch this or what?
Kid: Who gets Niska?
Grandfather: I don't understand.
Kid: Who kills Niska? At the end, somebody's got to do it. Is it Zoe? Who?
Grandfather: Nobody. Nobody kills him. He lives.
Kid: You mean he wins? Jesus, Grandpa! What did you read me this thing for?
